    Conducting tissues and phyletic relationships of bryophytes

    Jun 29, 2000 - Internal specialized conducting tissues, if present, are restricted to the gametophytic generation in liverworts while they may occur in both generations in mosses. Conducting tissues are unknown in the anthocerotes. Water–conducting cells (WCCs)

    Modelling mammalian cellular quiescence

    Jun 6, 2014 - Cellular quiescence is a reversible non-proliferating state. The reactivation of ‘sleep-like’ quiescent cells (e.g. fibroblasts, lymphocytes and stem cells) into proliferation is crucial for tissue repair and regeneration and a key to the growth,

    François Jacob. 17 June 1920 — 19 April 2013

    Dec 1, 2017 - Biological research was a late vocation for François Jacob, who entered the laboratory of André Lwoff at the Institut Pasteur in Paris at the age of 30. Ten years before, in 1940, he had abruptly left France, after the German troops entered Paris,

    Liposomes in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine

    Dec 6, 2014 - Liposomes are vesicular structures made of lipids that are formed in aqueous solutions. Structurally, they resemble the lipid membrane of living cells. Therefore, they have been widely investigated, since the 1960s, as models to study the cell

    Cloning of an olfactory sensory neuron–specific protein in the land snail (Eobania vermiculata)

    Feb 7, 2004 - We have isolated a gene encoding for an olfactory sensory neuron (OSN)–specific protein in an invertebrate, the land snail Eobania vermiculata (GenBank accession number AY147909.). Using in situ hybridization, we detected expression of its mRNA in

    Osteogenic differentiation and mineralization in fibre-reinforced tubular scaffolds: theoretical study and experimental …

    Sep 7, 2012 - The development of composite scaffolds with well-organized architecture and multi-scale properties (i.e. porosity, degradation) represents a valid approach for achieving a tissue-engineered construct capable of reproducing the medium- and long-term

    The role of cell lineage in development

    Dec 17, 1985 - Studies of the role of cell lineage in development began in the latter part of the 19th century, fell into decline in the early part of the 20th, and were revived about 20 years ago. This recent revival was accompanied by the introduction of new and
